Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: yxyyx is the correct continuation.
Reasoning: The sequence is formed by alternating two three-letter blocks: "yxx" and "yyx". When these blocks are written one after another and the sequence is read as overlapping five-letter windows, the next five-letter window is yxyyx.
Step 1: Write the repeating blocks: yxx yyx yxx yyx ...
Step 2: Concatenate them into a continuous string: y x x y y x y x x y ...
Step 3: Read the next overlapping five-letter window from that stream: y x y y x → yxyyx.
Therefore, the five-letter string yxyyx matches the pattern and is the correct choice.
